    MLB HD Games

    Anyone know of any plans for DirecTV to broadcast some MLB Extra Innings games in HD on some of the "special event" channels like they have been doing for the NBA (same spot where the NFL games were)? I have already been seeing some spring training highlights from NESN HD on sportscenter and...

    2005 Masters In HD.

    I really wish CBS/ NBC would be broadcasting more of these weekly PGA tournaments in HD. On that note, how about ESPN 2 HD, TNT HD, etc etc etc...........

    Does Directv offer any Discounts when you pay Automatically by CreditCard each Month?

    I know many power companies have a 1-3% off per month if paid directly out of checking account. With a CC it is a little harder to justify a 2 or 5 % savings for customers, as the company charging the CC has to pay a couple percent of the sale plus a flat rate, including any other discounts...

    ABC 7.1 Chicago

    Fixed! For whatever reason, it only works if you go from a Directv HD station right to channel 7.1 I went from ESPNHD (73) right to ABC 7.1 and it works fine, but going from any regular non HD channel to 7.1 it gets no signal. Sounds like something Hughes should get on the ball with and fix...

    ABC 7.1 Chicago

    Very strange, Some programs during the day come over the digital channel just fine, get very good signal with a Hughes HTL HD box, but other programs (specificly all football games), have a very very small signal, well into the "bad" range. I pick up all other HD stations just fine, ABC is the...

    How to get paid for DirecTV Installs?

    Hope your situation works out for you. It would be quite unfortunate if they are taking advantage of you due to your foreign background. I would imagine the government has some sort of division in place to assit people like yourself, kind of like the housing discrimination commercials that...

    Chicago and moving

    Wait, are you looking to move to an area so you can pick up the max locals? I am quite confuses as usual. Could you set up a P.O. Box in some area where you can get a nice mix of locals and distants for free?

    FOX-HD & NFL SuperBowl?

    All the sunday ticket games and MLB playoffs on my local OTA look great. Fox did a great job of getting all the HD right before brining it to market. I am very impressed with FOX HD local and sunday ticket games and hope to see many more events and shows in HD on fox in the future.

    No 119

    I am sure it may not be any help but make sure your tilt is finely tuned, i had an issue with 119 and a tilt adjustment made it all work great. Good luck to you

    News On Fox/tnt Hd Start Date?

    I have also been impressed with the FOX HD football action. The baseball playoffs will be awesome on fox HD. I hope ESPN is watching FOXs ability to bring us over a half dozen games a week in HD while they only have two trucks driving around covering only a couple games a week.

    ABC-HD: NFL Football : Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles 9pm EDT

    I just saw that flash of action again. Does anyone else have that crackling sound with the audio for this channel? It is pissing me off, OTA in Phoenix.

    Question about 3 LNB in apartment complex

    I have the three lNB on my balcony hanging over the side a good 2 feet into the "common air" off the side of the building. The complex is totally OK with this and even came and looked at it and approved of it. No one can take away my HD now.

    ESPN HD Horizontal Flickers

    I will be curious as to other members sightings of horizontal flicker on other channels. I think this will confirm that it is a directv problem and an issue with directv equipment not ESPN or Discov. If they do not get it cleared up by next weekend i think it is time to start calling and...

    ESPN HD Horizontal Flickers

    It is most certainly there, especially on ESPN. you can see it on some action from the broncos / chiefs game as well. I also saw this on a couple other HD stations last night, making me think it is an issue with Directv, not ESPN or Discovery. I wonder if anyone at Directv knows of this...

    ESPN HD Horizontal Flickers

    On some cameras on ESPN HD, I see horizontal lines flicker on the screen. I have phoned a few friends around the country to check it out to make sure it is not my set, it happens on their ESPN HD as well. It is not all the time, but is select cameras. For instance on camera on the Texas / Ark...

    Directv minimum subscription?

    Not everything is a question of profitability. Convience is a big issue when you are in a service industry. They may have good success recruiting these customers for further programming.

    What box do you recommend for D* HDTV?

    I also would vote for the HTL-HD. Works great, pulls in local OTA great, love the "Surf" menu. Guide has great speed unlike the clunker of a Philips POS i have in the bedroom that moves a mile a minute. At $285 the price is certainly right for the HTL HD

    Breaking news: DIRECTV Announces Plans for new HD

    Pretty cool stuff. All that bandwidth from those guys. Quite amazing. Hope no space people are living near them or they are bound to be sterile. I guess I am not totally excited about the HD locals being the plan. I get all locals OTA, so it is no real change for me. It will be great news for...

    Hughes HD box question

    I use the HTL HD with DVI on a mitsubishi and I do not have this problem. Once the TV is off additional outputs on the HTL HD remain active (if the HTL HD is turned on of course).

    NFL SD HD games (only 2 on 119)

    Make sure your skew on your dish is set to what the reciever or directv site tells you. Is LOS really bad?
